Sometimes awareness of our thoughts reveals hard things. It's important to know how to handle those moments with grace and with understanding that you are dearly loved by a God who wants to invite you to healing and redemption.

In this episode, we gently deepen the practice of taking every thought captive by exploring the power of the words we speak, specially the ones we say to ourselves.

We reflect on how God designed us as one whole, connected being, and how the language we carry inside can either lift us toward life or pull us down into discouragement and fear.

Drawing from scripture and lived experience, we take a look at why words matter and how they can shape our inner world.

We also look at how we can begin a practice of releasing what weighs us down.

Together, we sit with the invitation from 1 Peter 5:7 to cast our cares on the Lord, and we explore what it means to surrender the noise that has been living in our minds.

The episode closes with a gentle charge for the week ahead. An easy, practical way to notice your words, invite God into your thoughts, and begin choosing life one moment at a time.

Welcome to Every Thought Captive!

This is where we begin.

This first episode is an invitation. To pause, to breathe, and to begin to notice the thoughts that shape how we live, love, and see ourselves. I share why this podcast exists, what "every thought captive" really means in real life, and why this journey isn't about perfection, positivity, or fixing yourself.

I'm not a mental health professional, I'm a woman who has lived through seasons of anxiety, depression, exhaustion, and quiet faith. I'm a woman who's seen God meet here there, even when getting off the sofa felt impossible.

If you've ever felt mentally overwhelmed, spiritually weary, or quietly stuck, this space is for you. Come on in!
